If I add the print it gives me error:
import re
import tkinter.filedialog
import readfile
j = 0
text = []
content = readfile.pattread()
constraint = re.compile(r'(#C\[\w*\])')
while j < len(content):
result = constraint.search(content[j])
text.append(result)
print(constraint.pattern)
print(result.group(0))
print(text)
print(repr(content[j]))
j = j+1
(#C\[\w*\])
#C[Health]
[<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x10215de40>]
'#D{#C[Health] #P[Information] - \n'
(#C\[\w*\])
Traceback (most recent call last):

print(result.group(0))
